There are many fix lists and readme but nothing about BPEL.Even on metalink i was not able to find anything...So if anybody knows how to get the lists with the JDeveloper patches related to BPEL, please add a comment to this blog ;-)Thanks!

After migrating the first project, the next step is to deploy this bpel to a server. I started with only installing JDeveloper an let's see, if it possible to stay with that (without installing the real wls production server).

I started with just with

/opt/Oracle/Middleware/utils/quickstart/quickstart.sh

So this looks like the wls server can be configured with Getting started with WebLogic Server 10.3.1:

But after some clicks i ended with:Ok, there was only a very small chance, that a database is included inside the jdev-package. Like expected i installed Oracle's XE database. And after a short search i found a nice guide for setting up test instances inside wiki.oracle.com.

It is a very nice book, if you have to build some slides or if you want to give a lecture. But really deep insights into the topic service design is not provided. For example chapter 6 "service contracts" covers only a simple WSDL as example.Nearly 50% of the book is occupied by fancy graphics, but most of the are quite useless or without any additional value.Perhaps it was just the wrong book from Thomas Erl, so i will try another one, too...If you like, take a look at my review at amazon.de (It is written in german, sorry again ;-).

On this blog i started more than one year ago with the lost (collaxa) BPEL-tutorials. My first posting was the 101.HelloWorld.Now after the arrival of Oracle's application server 11g i decided to do all the tutorials again to see what has changed. So let's start:First you need to download jdeveloper 11g and add the bpel components.Then get the old bpel tutorials (you can copy them from an 10g installation area: /opt/oracle/product/10.1.3.1/OracleAS_1/bpel/samples/tutorials).After that open jdeveloper and create an application:

Then you have to create a project, even we do not need this here:

Then you can click finish.Now choose open and select the HelloWorld.jpr:

This starts the migration wizard:

And the wait:

Done! So let's see what happened.Ok, much more files than in 10g:

The bpel itself has one transformation more than before:

Opening the transformation, i got the following error:

But after restarting jdeveloper, i was able to access this xslt.

In addition a composite was generated:

The test suite was migrated, too

As a difference to 10g the tests are added at composite level and not inside the bpel (the blue arrow inside the light blue circle).

Double clicking this arrow opens this dialog:

And Generate Sample does really work (it changes Kireet to name1 ;-)....Deploying and checking will be done in another posting.
